Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

Chapter 12 Despair
The body smashed by Huang Shiyuan was still lying on the ground, bloody and bloody, and there were even green-headed flies enjoying the food.

Li Daoxuan looked inside the house again. This should be the home of the tailor in the town.

The tailor was already sleeping peacefully in the yard, but he did not see his wife and son. Li Daoxuan opened the door and entered the house.

The living room is empty except for an Eight Immortals table and a four-legged cupboard.

The door on the left led to the kitchen, and there were two occupied rooms on the right. Li Daoxuan first came to the door of the room closer to the door, stabbed the door with a butcher knife, and pushed it open carefully. There was no one in the room.

He went to the kitchen again and could still smell the aroma of roasting sweet potatoes, but there was no one there either.

He turned around again.

I saw a corpse with a rotten face standing abruptly on the threshold, its clothes were torn, and some fat and tender proteins could be seen crawling around in the eye sockets and nose.

While Li Daoxuan turned around, the ghost pounced on him.

"puff--"

The butcher's knife pierced the corpse's throat. Li Daoxuan swung it to the side. The corpse hit the four-corner cabinet and fell to the ground with a "bang" without any movement.

Another ghost slave.

Li Daoxuan came to the corpse... This man was the idle man in the town. Shouldn't he live in the east end of the town?

Why did he suddenly come here quietly?

As a second-level pig butcher, Li Daoxuan was sure that if he really walked into the yard alone, he would definitely notice it.

He came again to the threshold where the body had first appeared.

"Ok?"

Li Daoxuan used the butcher's knife to pick at the gap under the threshold, and once again picked out a small bag of white rice.

"Sure enough, it's this damn thing again."

Li Daoxuan was already certain in his heart that the reason why these ghost slaves, or the ghosts, could appear and disappear depended on these contaminated rice.

"Do you rely on rice to move? Hehe, then I will put away the rice. If you want to come, just come directly in front of me!"

"If you don't dare to come... these contaminated rice should be considered filth. You can sell it for a few dollars."

He just did what he said. Li Daoxuan didn't have much scruples. He found a cloth bag at the tailor's house and swept up the white rice scattered on the ground by the door.

Then he went out and knocked on the door of each house to see if they had any. If there were any, he would put them away, and if he didn't have any, he would hide them.

But the further he walked, the more frightened he became. On average, four out of ten households died after knocking on them.

Yesterday, only a dozen people died, but now... this ghost is avoiding the three grain eaters of his, and then killing people crazily elsewhere.

It was already afternoon when the three of them started, and with such a delay, the sky became even darker.

Li Dao

The world is like a ghost.

He weighed the bag he was holding and found that he had collected almost two kilograms of contaminated rice, but the ghost still didn't move at all.

Li Daoxuan suddenly turned around and saw that the alley behind him was empty.

He quickly came to the door of the house he had just visited and slammed the door hard, "Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, are you okay?"

Huge knocks on the door echoed back and forth in the alleyways. Li Daoxuan didn't wait any longer and kicked the courtyard door open.

He saw Aunt Wang, who had just spoken to him, lying in the courtyard at the moment, her pale face already covered with death spots, her eyes bulging and wide, looking hard at the night sky.

Next to her, there was a bowl of rice placed neatly, as if mocking.

The veins on Li Daoxuan's forehead twitched. He looked at Aunt Wang's body and then at the bowl of contaminated rice...

Ok?
Li Daoxuan frowned, and then immediately relaxed.

He seems to know how to deal with the rice ghost.

He came to Aunt Wang, poured the bowl of rice into the bag again, took one last look at the body, and turned away.

In the troubled times of the five turbidities, I am a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, let alone saving others.

He walked quickly on the way to Zhou's Mansion. The silence passed by along the way, and words suddenly appeared on the panel.

[Although ghosts move strangely, no matter what kind of ghost they are, they have their own patterns of behavior. As long as you find the patterns, it is not difficult to catch them. 】【The brainless pig butcher finally knows how to find out the rice ghost, but despair always appears when hope comes. I wish you... good luck, your survival points +2 (green). 】

According to the prompts on the panel, the method I just thought of can indeed catch Mi Gui.

But what does it mean that despair always appears when hope comes?
Could it be that Zhou Xu and I cannot deal with this rice-asking ghost with our strength?

Although Li Daoxuan had doubts in his heart, he had no other choice. Otherwise, after the ghost had killed all the people in the town, he would come to kill him sooner or later.

Unless you are really like Huang Shiyuan, run away!
In the main hall of Zhou Mansion, Zhou Xu moved a chair and sat at the door. Inside the room were her trembling parents and several brothers and sisters.

Seeing Li Daoxuan carrying a cloth bag, she stood up immediately.

Her brothers and sisters, who were already nervous, saw her reaction and were immediately frightened and screamed.

"Why are you here? Did you kill that Wenmi ghost?"

Zhou Xu asked quickly.

"No, I haven't seen him yet."

Li Daoxuan shook his head, and in Zhou Xu's slightly disappointed eyes, he said, "But I have a way to find it."

"any solution?"

Zhou Xu, who was originally a little disappointed, had hope again in his eyes.

Li Daoxuan, carrying a cloth bag full of contaminated rice, stood in the yard and looked at her, saying word by word:

"Ask Mi."

Zhou Xu was surprised for a second, and then immediately understood the meaning of Li Daoxuan's words.

The rice-asking ghosts are caused by Wang Shenpo asking for rice, and they can appear in various places in the town by polluting the rice.

Then as long as you use its contaminated rice and ask the rice again, it will naturally be drawn by the rules.

And this is the pattern that Li Daoxuan thought of when asking Mi Gui to appear.

There is no need to look for it yourself, as long as you use the rules, the Migui will naturally come to your door, and what you have to do is... a knife!

"I come!"

Zhou Xu is also a ruthless person. He took over the matter without any hesitation, "What you are carrying must be contaminated rice, right?"

"Ah."

Li Daoxuan was about to untie it, but suddenly raised his head. Zhou Xu was also confused.

Because both of them heard the rapid sound of horse hooves stepping on the bluestone surface.

Who has a horse in this town?

There is only one family, the mayor Huang Shiyuan.

"Isn't he going to run away? Why is he back?"

Zhou Xu also came down the steps and came to Li Daoxuan. As expected, the sound of horse hooves stopped at the door of Zhou's mansion.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Shiyuan stumbled in.

His face was frightened, and he even seemed to be crying, "I can't run away, I can't run away, ghosts are hitting the wall, this is seeing turbidity, seeing turbidity."

As he spoke, he fell to his knees on the ground and howled.

When Li Daoxuan and Zhou Xu heard the word Jian Zhuo, they immediately thought of the description of Jian Zhuo.

"To turn a blind eye, to be confused and confused is to say that seeing is turbid."

If things really go wrong, let alone these ninth-rate grain-eaters, even if the eighth-rate grain-eaters come, they can only protect themselves.

Only those who eat grain at the seventh level can possibly deal with it.

There was a look of despair in Zhou Xu's eyes, but suddenly, she thought of something and said immediately:

"Li Daoxuan saw the true form of Wenmi Ghost. It is definitely not Jianzhuo!"
